It is the dawn of the mobile age. Your competitor has created a nifty new website that is actually viewable on his phone (and depressingly just as well on your phone and EVERYONE elses). You decided it's time to make the investment and so are wondering, ok now that I have decided to have WebStrategies build me my Mobile Website, what might be considered some of the most important factors to consider when creating such a mobile site?

I think I'll go crazy if I have to manage one more social media tool :) Unfortunately the world we live in (at least the business world) requires us to be accessible via multiple devices, protocol, messengers and time machines. (OK maybe not time machines). Instant messaging has become almost impossible to maintain unless you have about 10 different networks running at the same time.

It's been out a while now but only recently have I felt ready to make the transition to Joomla 1.6. I have been super excited about the move because it opens up some fun extra functionality that 1.5 lacked. We are, I think, at a point where migration from 1.5 to 1.6 is possible in most cases because what I believe to be some of the main 3rd party extensions are finally 1.6 compatible! So here again is my list of a few of the nicer primary 1.6 3rd party extensions that make my Life easier in developing the average website (just some little updates from the original post):

I over heard a couple of guys chatting about the never ending battle of the Content Management Systems and thought I'd make a quick post. I wonder does it ultimately boil down to this, or is there more to it than meets the eye?

Bad things can happen if your domain runs out.

Posted July 9, 2010

Best case scenario if your domain name runs out is that some ISP buys up your domain and puts some profit making ads on your little piece of cyberspace. You might be able to buy your domain back but unfortunately, more often than not it will cost you a few of your hard earned dollars. Purchasing and maintaining your domain name is very important as it defines your company's Online marketing campaign. In most cases you have business cards, posters, letterheads and more, brandished with your cool personal Web Domain name, that nobody else was smart enough to think up. If you let your domain hosting lapse, don't have a current email assigned to your admin account (with a responsible person or company keeping watch) or simply let your credit card expire and not update your host, you could find yourself in some trouble. So what could POSSIBLY go wrong - I mean com'on seriously? Who cares about MY domain and for that matter any domain names created for businesses or government bodies of importance would be well guarded. - Right?! Wrong. Unfortunately as demonstrated by the Bluff City Police dept. of Tennessee, you can never be too careful. Brian McCrary, who says he received a $90 speeding citation earlier this year, purchased the Bluff City website domain on May 22 and this is what ensued. Long story short - consider how much in marketing dollars you have poured into your Online marketing strategy and then consider keeping a closer eye on your domain names! David McKillen

David McKillen WebStrategies Inc. Twitter is simply a waste of valuable time - at least that's what I used to think. Chris Leone, our resident Social Media Mad man, battered on me for long enough trying to convince me that Twitter was more than just a way of skipping my work duties and that there is some genuine value to investing time therein.
